Psalms 76

1 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.

2 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.

3 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)

4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.

5 All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.

7 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!

8 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,

9 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)

10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.

11 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

Vowe and performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.

12 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.

He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
